Need More Proof That Polls Showing Trump Underwater Are Bogus?
PJ Media ^ | May 07, 2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 05/07/2025 10:20:09 AM PDT by george76

While the corporate media keeps pushing the narrative that Donald Trump’s approval ratings are sinking, we’ve seen this act before. Remember 2024? Pollsters swore up and down that Kamala Harris was going to win in a landslide. But anyone who scrutinized the data knew those numbers were bogus.

Now that Trump is back in office, the same game is playing out. The media’s obsession with tearing him down hasn’t faded one bit. So we’re flooded with polls from the same discredited pollsters who got 2024 so wrong — polls that claim Trump is “underwater” while simultaneously showing broad public approval of how he’s handling the issues that matter. Case in point: even CNN’s Harry Enten was forced to admit on Wednesday that Trump’s law-and-order message is hitting home with voters in a way Joe Biden never could, and the numbers back it up.

...

On CNN, of all places, Enten presented data showing Trump with a positive net approval rating on crime, something that eluded Biden for his entire presidency.

“Look at that,” Enten said. “At plus two points, far better than Joe Biden who was so far underwater. My goodness, he was setting records at minus 26 points. You rarely ever see it.”

Yes, you read that correctly — while Biden sank to historic lows, Trump is now in positive territory. Not only that, but Trump’s crime approval is stronger now in his second term than it was during his first.

“We compared Donald Trump’s first term to now his second term,” Enten explained. “We see that Donald Trump’s net approval rating on handling crime is far better now at plus two points… than back in March of 2024 in which he was underwater at minus 13 points.” That’s a stunning 15-point improvement.

Chuck Schumer said Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster.

I’m sure the talking points have gone out, that they are supposed to say Trump is destroying the nation, and also we are supposed to think Trump is Hitler and all of that nonsense.

ALL the left has is hope that Trump fails. They have no policy. No tangible ideas. If Trump is successful he will be on Mt Rushmore.

They have to say his policies are failing, his polls are falling. They have nothing else.

PDJT, who allegedly won’t be running for another term, probably doesn’t give a rip about polls.

But it’s a safe bet these push polls are designed to influence reliably skittish congressional Republicans.

Rasmussen Daily has Trump at 50% approval, which is where he has been his entire presidency more or less. And Rasmussen called the election spot on.

Well, in one sense Chuck is correct.
Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster. For the Democrats.
On the other hand, quite a success for Americans.

For whom? Trump/Doge, however, are underwater with me. They should be up another $T in fraud finding.

Can’t remember which poll, but one of them only had 37% 2024 Trump voters and so it’s far lower than the 51-52% LV percentage that actually voted for him.

demoncRATS with their lapdogs, mainstream media, in tow are lying and metaphorically spitting nails to sway public opinion against President Trump to bring him down. Normally, they go after what they consider the weak link like Elon Musk who has withdrawn. Now, they’re focusing on President Trump once again. Their actions are reprehensible and disgusting. However, they’re experts at this. Looks like they’ve withdrawn from the illegal Kilmar Abrego Garcia since the whole issue blew up in their faces. So demoncRATS & mainstream media are focusing on Pres Trump once again.

CNN and even Fox News are only getting thousands of views. CNN is rating less than 10,000 most times. Meanwhile internet broadcasters are getting in the millions. Polls are lies from the irrelevant.

The agents of the left are probably hitting all the tariff countries now coercing them to delay signing new trade agreements in the hopes that President Trump will blink and the LAAP-dog media can blast him and his tariff plan as a failure and a threat to the stability of the nation.

Like the old adage:
Wanna know the weather, look outside.

There are no sources other than Far Left Corporate Media, NeverTrumpers, or RINO’s saying it.

That tells ya all ya need to know.

I have no interest in Trump’s polls.

If he does what is necessary, things will get much, much worse in terms of polls. If he can get the economy improving and the illegals mostly out by October 2026, things will improve. If not, the Democrats will retake Congress.

But what a bunch of idiots responding to polls today, or in July, or this Christmas think is meaningless.

Why is Enten truthful? What is in it for him? Makes no sense.
